Hey everyone!

Been a little while huh?

Well, Timeless and I have been working on a bit of a secret story recently, however, we took a break from it to come and finish this chapter we had started a few weeks ago.

It's a short and sweet one, but it has some nice bits that I hope you'll enjoy.


"This park is always so relaxing," Kensuke sighed as he breathed in some of the clean air of the park. Something the town couldn't really offer what with all the vehicles and stuff…

"It certainly helps when I'm having a hard time studying," Ami said in agreement.

"And I never knew a place like this was here!" Usagi said as she took in the sight of the location they were in, overlooking a nice body of water.

"It'd be a great place to spend some time," Rei smiled.

"Though...where are the park keepers? Keeping a park like this well maintained would need a lot of people," Kensuke mused.

"Actually...about that…" Ami sighed.

They soon arrived in another area of the park, this one having a small flower garden, with an old man tending to it, wearing a simpel grey shirt with brown pants and a hat.

"Hi there sir." Ami said as she went up to the man, who turned to her and smiled warmly.

"Oh, hello there Ami." the man greeted.

After a bit of talking with the man…

"Woah, you take care of this big park all by yourself?" Usagi said in surprise, feeling very impressed.

"It's not a big deal," the man chuckled, before frowning. "Sadly that won't be for much longer…" he said, looking at some construction in another side of the park. "The land owner sold this park, and now its going to be turned into a business district…"

"What a waste…" Kensuke frowned. "Personally I think the city could use a park more than another business district."

"I agree, but sadly the developers don't see it that way…" the man sighed again.

"I wish we could do something about that…" Ami frowned.

"Actually….this park may have a land owner, but it IS technically still a public park, right?" Kensuke mused.

"Well...yes it is, why?" the man blinked.

"Well...they can't exactly tear it down if the city itself doesn't want it to be torn down...right?" he continued.

"I get it, you want to petition to stop the construction," Rei realized.

"But...wouldn't that take a lot of money and time?" Ami frowned.

"Let's just say...the first part isn't an issue. Besides, if we move fast, we can get some signatures and the like."

"That's a great idea! Let's do it!" Usagi grinned.

The man smiled at them "Thank you kids for wanting to do this, I hope your idea works." he said with a grateful smile.


"Where did everyone go?" Luna frowned, walking around town. Usagi had run off earlier, so now she was looking around for them. However, she probably should have paid more attention, as she was crossing the road...while the crossing light was red, and a truck was speeding towards her. She screamed as her life flashed before her eyes, but instead of being turned into street pizza, she felt someone grab her, and when she finally opened her eyes, she found herself in the hands of Mamoru.

"That was WAY too close," he sighed, having clearly been out on a jog. He was REALLY glad he'd noticed the cat and the that the truck had been far enough for him to grab it in time. Looking down at the cat, he felt like it was familiar to him "You're… Usagi's cat I think?"

At that moment, Usagi and Co. turned into the street, and noticed Mamoru holding Luna. "Huh? Mamoru? What are you doing with Luna?" Usagi asked.

"Well, let's just say I made sure your cat remained...three dimensional…" Mamoru sweat dropped, giving Luna back to Usagi. "Please take better care of her next time."

"Three dimensional…?" Usagi blinked, right as another large truck went by, and it clicked in her mind. "Gah! Thank you very much for saving her!"

"We got lucky there." Kensuke chuckled awkwardly.

"Just make sure you keep an eye on her next time," Mamoru sighed. "I'm just glad nobody got hurt."

"Yeah, thanks again." Usagi sighed, before perking up "Oh, by the way, think you could help us with something?"

Mamoru blinked in confusion "Help with what?"


"A petition huh? Not a bad idea, if enough people sign it, then the city can't ignore it." Mamoru mused after being told the full story, the group resting at a table in the arcade at the moment.

"And it really would be better for the city if it has a park like that," Motoki said in agreement. "You've got my vote."

"Great, so that's one vote down, as many more as we can get to go," Rei smiled.

"Right, we need signature boards, a permit, and plenty more like minded people," Kensuke nodded.

"Let's do this!" Usagi cheered, while Ami smiled.


Meanwhile, back at the park, the park keeper frowned deeply as he watched the construction underway. Though what the youngsters had told him gave him hope, the sight before him filled him with great anger.

"It's a despicable sight." a voice from behind said, making him turn around to see, unknown to him, Nephrite walking up to him.

"Who are you young man?" the keeper asked in surprise.

"My identity is of no importance. What IS important though is that humans seem to have forgotten the importance of nature in the world. They need to learn nature's wrath. And you will be the one to teach them." Nephrite said as he went to stand next to the man, before he held out his hand towards the man's hat and focused. A pulse of energy occured before a symbol appeared on the hat, the Youma having been successfully planted. When it was over, the man blinked...and realized Nephrite was gone. Despite that, he felt...strange. He felt his desire to protect the park grow...and that's when things got...strange.

Insects and animals gathered, and began attacking the people working on the construction, chaos ensuing as the men tried to fend off the animals, while the insects swarmed, attacking the men and even crawling into the machines, causing damage inside them. Before long the men ran away, abandoning the site, and only when they left the park did the rabid creatures finally stop.


"Thank you for your support," Kensuke nodded as he got another signature. By now they'd been able to start up the petitions to oppose the plans to develop the park into a new business complex. So far they were doing well enough, getting signatures from the people who agreed that a park would be better for the city compared to a new business district. However, at the same time they also had to deal with people who DID think a business district would serve the city better.

"So far so good," Ami smiled as she went over the pages full of signatures.

"But I wish people didn't have to be so mean!" Usagi complained, huffing at the memory of some of the more...snide...people who couldn't just do the decent thing and walk away politely.

"There are people like that everywhere sadly. Let's just work hard to prove them wrong," Rei frowned.

"Yeah, just imagine the looks on their faces when we get enough signatures and stop the construction," Kensuke grinned...before he felt a familiar hot feeling. "Uh oh…"

"Oh well that's just perfect timing." Usagi sighed, knowing what a random 'uh oh' from him meant, as they quickly packed up and started heading in the direction his pendant was reacting.

They soon found themselves in a section of the construction site, with several workers, vines wrapped around their necks as they struggled. Looking to the source of the vines, they saw a creature with a mostly black body that had several spikes, or rather thorns, sticking out of it in various parts, with vines sticking out of it's torso, and it's right arm turning into vines near the hand, and the face… well, it looked nothing like a face, they could say that much.

"Category 7 of Hearts, Plant Undead." Kensuke said with a narrowed gaze.

"That's pretty high on the list," Usagi gulped.

"And it's got people caught. We have to save them!" Rei said.

"Everyone transform!" Ami said, to which everyone pulled out their respective devices.

"Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"

"Mercury Power, Make Up!"

"Mars Power, Make up!"

"Henshin!" "Turn Up!"

"Fire Soul!" Mars called out, shooting the Plant Undead with her attack, and it being a plant, fire was QUITE effective.

"Moon Tiara Action!" Moon called out, throwing her tiara which cut through the various vines, freeing the workers.

"Shabon Spray!" Mercury finished, covering the area in fog, while the group got the workers to safety, leaving the Undead confused in the fog. Once everyone was safe…

"Slash!"

The Undead gasped in pain as it was suddenly cut in the chest, sending it tumbling back. It hissed as the fog cleared, before spreading its arms...followed by the plants around it seemingly coming to life as they grew and went for the four heroes.

"What the heck?!" Mars gasped.

"Crap! Undead can sometimes manipulate their progeny into doing their bidding!" Blade realized.

"And we're in the middle of a park. Sure its a construction site, but there are still a lot of plants!" Mercury realized.

"And we can't exactly fight the entire park!" Moon added as they were busy trying to evade or defend themselves without damaging the park. It'd be counter productive if they did…

Fortunately they didn't need to fight long, as something flew through the air...and promptly hit the Undead in the face, causing it to roar in pain.

Moon was about to cheer for the usual sudden arrival… except that wasn't a rose in the Undead's face, but rather an arrow made of energy, which was already dissipating.

"I guess it's a good thing I was in the area." spoke a voice none of them had heard before, making them turn to see, standing on top of a crane…

"Kamen Rider Chalice…" Blade gasped in surprise at seeing his fellow rider.

"Yo, Blade. About time we properly met. Well… sort of." Chalice chuckled as he jumped down.

"Um… you're here to help us… right?" Moon asked, unsurely.

"Of course, Kamen Riders all work for the same goal, and besides, this jerk is from my suit. It's only fair I help you with him." Chalice said, and they had the feeling he was smirking beneath his helmet.

"Not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth," Blade smirked. "Let's get this guy!"

The Undead quickly recovered from its sudden face shot, but a bit late, as the two Riders were already upon it, hitting it at the same time, sending it tumbling back. And then they didn't let up, the Undead barely having any chances to counter as the two Riders kept practically wailing on it with their weapons.

"Let's keep this short and sweet," Chalice said, going for his buckle, and sliding a section of it off, before attaching it to his bow, turning it into its Rouzer mode, and pulling out two Rouse Cards from a sort of pocket in the side of his belt, which Blade recognized as the 5 and 6 of Hearts, Drill Shell and Tornado Hawk.

"Agreed. Less chances for it to hurt more people," Blade frowned, pulling out the Kick and Thunder cards too, before both scanned the cards.

"Drill! Tornado!"

"Kick! Thunder!"

A tornado kicked up around Chalice as he was lifted into the air and spun around a bit, before the tornado aimed for the Undead, while Blade charged up with electricity.

"Spinning Attack!"

"Lightning Blast!"

Chalice flew towards the Undead in a high speed drill kick, while Blade jumped and flipped in the air, his leg charged with electricity. The Undead barely had time to react as one foot plowed into it, shocking it with lightning followed by the second kick hitting it with so much force it was sent spinning back, and rammed into a tree before falling over and exploding. When the explosion cleared it was on its back, belt having cracked open.

"Time to put you away," Chalice said, opening his pocket and drawing out a Proper Blank. However, before he could actually use it, a flurry of movement happened, before the gathered heroes were swarmed by….squirrels?

"What the what?!" Blade gasped as the furry little demons were crawling all over them, chittering and biting where they could, something that was notably worse for the girls cause they had exposed skin, while the boys were having a hard time seeing with the little things crawling all over their heads.

"Get off me!" Mars growled, trying to get the squirrels off.

"This is NOT normal animal behavior!" Mercury shouted.

"They're crawling everywhere!" Moon shouted in mild panic...and some laughter as some of the squirrels were crawling under her outfit.

Fortunately for some reason the squirrels calmed down by themselves and soon ran off, much to their relief. But still… "Rabid squirrels. Since when were THOSE a thing?" Chalice sweatdropped.

"They aren't last I checked," Blade sighed...before noticing something was missing. "...where did the Undead go?"

The group's eyes widened and they turned to see the Undead was gone. "Those squirrels might have just been a distraction," Mercury frowned.

"Great, so it's another Undead the Dark Kingdom has under its control, considering there aren't any Squirrel Undeads," Blade groaned.

"It'd be bad if it attacked people again," Chalice frowned, before jumping up a tree. "I'll see if I can track it down. I'll see you all another time," he said, before jumping away.

"Hey, hold up a bit!" Blade called after him, but Chalice was already gone "Ah, darn it, I should have given him Bullet when I had the chance, he would have had more use for it."

"But more importantly, so now a Youma's here too," Mars frowned.

"If it's like the last one, we need to find who its possessing," Moon frowned.

"Problem is...we don't know anyone who's acting strangely…" Mercury said.

"For now we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled. If it's anything like the last time, we'll find it eventually...I hope…" Blade sighed.


"Okay, as important as the signatures are, we got a Youma AND an Undead running around," Kensuke frowned. "So spread out girls, it's time we looked for any rumors."

"Right," the three of them nodded as they spread out. At first they didn't find anything of note...until they found something. Namely several people who look like they got into a fight and lost. When they were asked what happened...the stories varied from rabid squirrels to birds, and even a swarm of bees.

Another they noticed, most of those people claimed to be construction workers.

"...suddenly I think I know who was possessed," Kensuke sighed.

"Yes, it has to be him…" Ami agreed. Attacks on people who were 'harming' the park? Right now the only person who fit that bill was...the park keeper.

With that in mind, they went into the park to look for the man, and hopefully get the Youma away from him before things escalated.

Sadly… they weren't fast enough. Right when they found the man near the lake in the park, it was just in time to see the Youma emerge from whatever object it had been imprinted on, the man collapsing and looking like he was now close to dying any day. As for the Youma, it had purple skin, a mess of vines for hair, looking like she was wearing a light green pair of pants that rode up to her stomach with an armored bodice, flower petals on her wrists.

"Well shit," Kensuke groaned as they quickly transformed.

"We have to defeat the Youma quickly! I don't know what kind of effects a massive energy drain would have on an older person!" Mercury said.

"Even more reason to do this fast!" Moon agreed, before throwing her Tiara, not even waiting this time. However, the Tiara didn't reach its target as a vine slapped it away, to which she quickly got it back, the vine revealing to be the Plant Undead, its belt now fixed, showing it had recovered enough since its last battle.

"And looks like he's back for more," Mars added with a frown.

"And found it! Oh, hey, funny coincidence." Chalice said as he arrived, looking at them in surprise.

"You are WAY too gung-ho." Blade told him in deadpan, making Chalice sweatdrop and laugh awkwardly.

"My girlfriend says the same thing sometimes." Chalice admitted.

"Can we focus on the monsters for a second here? And yes, I'm saying that despite being curious about what heart boy there just said." Moon asked them dryly, making Chalice mutter about the name she gave him.

When they looked back to the Youma and the Undead… the Youma was leaning on the Undead, and seemed to be… acting flirty with it… yeah, that was weird to look at.

Meanwhile, over where Nephrite was hiding, he facepalmed as he watched his Youma act like that, while Kujaku laughed from seeing the Undead just let her do so.

Back at the fight, the group was rather...weirded out at what they were seeing. "It's like a trainwreck. I just can't stop looking," Chalice said blandly.

"Well… let's just off these two idiots while their too busy… flirting… I can't believe two monsters are flirting, and I can freaking see the undead moving his vines on her and it's freaky." Moon said blankly, before transitioning to annoyed hissing.

"I don't blame you, this is so dumb right now." Mars said, her face in her hands, a bit ashamed that THIS was their enemy.

"Right, give me a second." Mercury sighed, before gathering her attack in her hands "Shabon Spray!" and cue a fog forming over the area.

"Hey, mind if I handle this, I have a combo idea I'd like to do." Chalice asked.

"Does it involve one of my cards?" Blade asked knowingly.

Chalice chuckled "Yeah, depends on if your Thunder recharged though?" his answer was Blade presenting him the card, which had regained its energy already.

"Alright." Chalice muttered as he accepted the card and put his weapon into Rouzer mode, before grabbing the cards he wanted and scanning them "Drill! Tornado! Thunder!" His body lifting into the air from the wind while lightning arced over his body "Thunderstorm Spinner!" he shouted as he spun on himself like a drill, made faster by the wind as lightning arced off from him in all directions, ramming straight into the fog, and absolutely DESTROYING the Youma, along with harming the Undead so much it keeled over and it's buckle unlocked, Chalice throwing his Proper Blank at it before receiving the Bio Plant card.

Meanwhile…

"Note to self...don't stick Youma and Undead of similar affinity together!" Kujaku said...while he was rolling on the floor laughing.

"I want to say I'm angry at this failure...but I can't help but agree…" Nephrite groaned into his hand. He just hoped the sheer absurdity of this would be enough to have Queen Beryl wave it off.


After the Undead and Youma were gone, things were back to normal...mostly.

"Well...guess we won't need to worry about the park development…" Blade sweat dropped.

"What makes you say that?" Chalice snorted, having heard the gist of it from them.

As if on cue, a butterfly landed on one of the remaining parts of what used to be the skeleton of one of the buildings...and the whole thing promptly caved in on itself.

"Lucky guess…" Moon sweat dropped. Yeah...the park was safe...albeit not quite in the way they were expecting.

"Well, anyway, it was nice meeting you all, but if you'll excuse me, I gotta hurry, I'm almost late for my date!" Chalice said before jumping away.

"Ah, dammit, I forgot again." Blade sighed as Chalice was already too far away once he remembered.

Once the moment was passed, they quickly made sure the park keeper was alright, being relieved at finding him perfectly fine, just unconscious. And after that, they quickly left… because they wanted to avoid being labelled as the ones that broke the equipment.


It was a week after the park incident, with the park thankfully remaining just that considering all the construction equipment got broken, and the city decided to give up on it if it was such a hassle. So far things have been quiet, but well...it WAS only just a week.

Currently Usagi was in the middle of Home Economics class, specifically the sewing classes...and somehow the Home Economics teacher, Ms. Higure was acting a bit off. Not possessed by a Youma off, but more...like she wasn't really having her head in the lesson. Plus there was that far off stare she'd have every now and then. It was enough to make her nod off at times, though thankfully the parts she blanked out of were noted down by Naru.

Once the class was over, the two girls were on the roof, were tables had been set up and an ice cream vendor had put up shop as well.

"Ok, I'm pretty sure her classes were never this boring before." Usagi sighed as she ate her ice cream.

"Tell me about it, it's different from the things with the monsters at least, you can tell by looking, but it's still weird." Naru added.

"I have the answer to this one." Umino said as he was passing by and stopped when he heard them, pulling a chair to sit down.

"Ok, shoot, what's happening to her?" Usagi asked curiously.

"Well, as most of the students know, Ms. Higure's dream is to have a beautiful wedding where she wears a wedding dress that she made herself." Umino started, the girls nodding, already knowing that much "And, as it turns out, somebody actually proposed to her recently."

"Wait, really?" Naru asked with a smile.

"Yes, from what I've gathered, he's not the most noteworthy man, being just a simple business man, and he isn't very tall, but, as long as there's love, it'll all work out." Umino finished with a smile.

"Yeah… I guess so… personally though I'd at least like if my husband is taller than me, but that's just me." Usagi said in amusement.

"Either way, I hope she'll be happy," Naru said with a smile to which both of them nodded in agreement.


"I see...that is indeed very worrying," Kazuma frowned. Currently Kensuke was in his apartment and had taken the opportunity to contact his parents again, while also reporting on the progress of the Hunt. Suffice to say the Tribe wouldn't be happy to learn one of the Royal Undead was working with the Dark Kingdom.

"I've also made contact with Chalice a few times, though he seems to be pursuing his own goals for the moment," Kensuke continued.

"A little odd, but as long as he continues to fight the Undead, that's his choice," Shiori frowned. "Whatever the case, we're glad things are going more or less well."

"It's going a lot smoother thanks to the help I've been getting," Kensuke nodded. "It helps when your little sister figure is quite reliable, same as your friends," he chuckled.

"Oh? If that's the case I think we'd like to meet our new daughter sometime," Shiori laughed, the family sharing in the good natured joke.


Meanwhile, Usagi sneezed as she was walking home. "Someone must be talking about me," she mumbled, before she noticed a wedding going on at Juban Hall. "The bride looks great," she smiled. "This must be the dream of every woman in love…" she said, admiring the procession. That was also when she noticed a sign being set up. "A handmade wedding dress contest?" she blinked, reading the details. Apparently whoever won would get a free wedding reception.

"Excuse me, but are you sure about this? What if the winner doesn't have a fiance, or the wedding date isn't set? Will the prize last that long?" came a familiar voice, as she turned to see Rei asking the promoter a few questions, several teenage girls nearby having a look of realization when she said that.

"Not to worry miss, the prize is valid for a lifetime," the promoter said simply with a smile.

"Is that so? Alright then," Rei nodded. The last thing she wanted was for this to be a scam of some kind.

"Funny running into you here," Usagi said, walking up to Rei. "Thinking of joining the contest?"

"Usagi?" Rei blinked, not expecting to see her here. "No, not really. I haven't really been thinking about stuff like that, so I don't think this'll be any good for me," she shrugged. "What about you?"

"I might have considered, but only one problem...I can't sew a decent dress to save my own life," Usagi admitted with a chuckle.

"I guess that makes two of us," Rei smirked a little.

"Well, as nice as this sounds, looks like its no good for both of us," Usagi shrugged. "So...going back?"

"Yeah, I'm going down this path today," Rei nodded as they started walking.

"Hm...if you take this way…" Usagi mused before she realized which way that would go. "My house is along the way. Want to stop by? Mom's been asking me to introduce you and Ami to her," Usagi offered.

"Well, if she's looking forward to it, then don't mind if I do," Rei chuckled.


"Well, it's nice to finally meet one of her new friends." Ikuko said as she brought some iced tea to the small table in the living room.

"Well we do go to different schools, so I guess the chance never really presented itself," Rei said with a small smile.

"I'm glad to know she's gotten so many good friends now," Ikuko smiled.

"Well, we've disagreed here and there, but nothing weird in any friendship," Rei chuckled. "But she's a great friend and I'm glad I met her."

"Awww, thanks Rei," Usagi rubbed the back of her head bashfully.

"Here, it's not much but please enjoy," Ikuko said as she gave Rei a slice of cake, to which she tried it and smiled.

"It's good. Did you make this yourself?" Rei asked.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I can't take credit for that. Never was a very good baker, so most of our sweets are store bought," Ikuko admitted with a slight sweat drop.


After the visit, the two stopped by at Ami's house and were now chatting regarding the wedding dress contest.

"I really wish I could enter it though." Usagi sighed "I'm no good at sewing, but if I was, I could possibly win and have a wedding squared away without having to worry about paying for it."

"Can't say I blame you when you put it like that, those do end up costing a lot most of the time." Rei said with a nod.

"You know, I could teach you if you want." Ami offered Usagi with a smile.

"Really? Sure, I'm up for it, maybe I'll learn something since the Home Economics teacher has her head in the clouds from her wedding." Usagi accepted happily.

Right after she said that, Ami dropped a pile of books in front of her "These should help you get started, when you're done with them, I can REALLY start teaching you."

Usagi and Rei both had dry looks at that "Ami you're really something else…"


Meanwhile, at a cloth shop in town… it was utter chaos. Inside a LOT of women were busy fighting over the various materials sold in the shop, all of them in a bid to win the wedding dress contest, and caught in the middle of it was Ms. Higure who looked afraid to get into the thick of it for fear of losing a limb. However, in the middle of the fight, some cloth flew her way, to which she caught, and her eyes widened when she saw it. "This is…!"

She didn't get to finish as someone else cut in. "Beautiful," the voice said, revealing to be Nephrite in his guise as Masato Sanjoin. "It is very beautiful," he said.

"E-excuse me?" Ms. Higure stuttered, a small blush on her face. Even if she was already with someone, there was no denying that he was rather handsome.

"Just a moment please," Masato said, taking the cloth from her and holding it to the light. "This is a lovely silk. A silk worthy of becoming your wedding dress," he said, before wrapping it around himself. "Oh, I can just see you standing under a sky full of stars and walking along a shoreline. Every star is sure to sparkle and bestow its blessing to you," he said, laying it on thick, before placing a hand on the cloth… and planting a Youma into it before returning it to Ms. Higure by wrapping it around her. "Here. I wish you happiness."

Ms. Higure had a dreamy look in her eyes at that, but little did she know that the youma symbol had lit up and was beginning to influence her.


"You know...whatever happened to Ms. Higure?" Usagi asked, as they were all in Home Economics...and Ms. Higure was a no show. Again.

"That IS strange. She's been absent for the last few days," Naru frowned, before the two of them looked at each other. "You don't think…?"

"I think we better take a look," Usagi nodded.


The two of them were later at Ms. Higure's apartment (having asked Umino who knew...they decided not to think too hard on why he'd know), and the first thing they saw...was a rather average looking guy with a bouquet, going up the stairs.

"Wonder who that is?" Usagi blinked.

"Well...judging by the bouquet, I think that's her fiance," Naru mused.

"That doesn't look like a good sign," Usagi frowned, noticing how he looked too much like someone trying to fix a mistake of some kind.

"I hope nothing bad happened between then." Naru added in worry, as the two watched him go up to Ms. Higure's door and knock on it, probably saying something to her through the door, but they were too far away to hear.

The door soon opened...and Ms. Higure did NOT look well. She looked dishelved, with bags under her eyes, and generally a look that screamed she wasn't taking good care of herself.

Now VERY worried, the two got closer, hoping to hear, and what they heard...well, their relationship wasn't in danger that's for sure. Ms. Higure apologized for not taking his calls and even happily accepted the bouquet, but not long after she asked him to leave, saying she had to focus on the wedding dress, and she asked him not to contact her until after the contest. In short...she was a little TOO focused on that dress.

"Okay...I get wanting to win the competition, but this is too much…" Usagi frowned. This was something the others would need to know.


"And that's what we saw," Usagi said. Currently she was at the temple with Rei, Ami, Kensuke, and Luna.

"That's definitely worrying," Kensuke frowned. The sudden focus shift and obsession definitely fit the bill so far.

"Not just that. I think I sensed a Youma's presence from that woman," Luna spoke up. "The problem is, even if we know that, we don't actually know how to deal with the issue," Luna frowned.

"That's true. To begin with she's locked herself in her apartment meaning we can't just get in there without breaking and entering…" Ami frowned.

"Yeah, I don't think we'll like the headlines that would likely follow…" Rei added dryly.

"Superheroes break into nice school teacher's house...yeah, I can see how bad that's gonna go…" Kensuke sweat dropped.

"So we have to wait till it comes out?" Usagi frowned, not liking where this was going.

"Doesn't look like we have a choice…" Luna sighed. "For now we should try to keep an eye on her as much as we can.

"Right," the group nodded.


Things were uneventful for a while, as it seemed Ms. Higure was fully invested in making the dress. With how serious she was, it wasn't hard to figure out that this was going to be for the Wedding Dress Competition, and as such the group planned to infiltrate the contest.

The group were gathered near the competition venue. "Okay, everyone ready?" Kensuke asked.

"Ready," the rest nodded, before Usagi took out the Disguise Pen and she and Ami held on to it, using it to disguise them as brides for the contest. In the meantime, Rei was with him to watch from the audience just in case something happened up on the stage.

At first things seemed normal, yet strangely enough, Ms. Higure wasn't among the brides. That was when she seemed to decide to crash the party showing up 'fashionably late' from the upper stage somehow.

"That looks nothing like a wedding dress." Kensuke muttered as he looked at the purple dress with a pretty weird looking cape attached to it.

Hell, he'd taken the time to look over every contestant, only about a quarter of the women had actually made traditional white gowns.

Whatever the case it seemed she was winning the hearts of the audience, despite the announcer at first telling her she couldn't just do her own thing like that. It seemed anyone who looked at her fell in love at first sight...or more specifically her eyes. No doubt a side effect of whatever Youma was possessing her. As it was, she was no doubt going to be crowned the winner...before 'it' happened. A familiar burst of darkness came out of her, and she soon fell to the ground, while a dark figure materialized over her.

The Youma this time looked very much like a spider humanoid, with 8 limbs, four of which were spider legs, and the other four were her arms and legs which ended in pointed appendages, though she also had antenna for some reason, and a large backside (for the spinneret obviously).

"Man these things are always so freaky." Usagi said with a slight shiver as she looked at it.

"They certainly aren't the most appealing." Ami admitted.

"Whelp, time to deal with it. Again," Rei sighed as she and Kensuke got on the stage (everyone else had fainted because of the hypnosis like effect).

"Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"

"Mercury Power, Make Up!"

"Mars Power, Make Up!"

"Henshin!" "TURN UP!"

The Youma immediately attacked using threads from her mouth...or rather...webs. The group quickly evaded, the webs webbing up anything that it hit. "Okay, so the spider thing wasn't just for show," Moon gulped a little.

"Then let's make sure she can't hit us with it!" Mercury frowned. "Shabon Spray!"

The bubbles soon turned into a field of mist, blocking them from the Youma's view.

"Not bad, but not good enough!" the Youma roared as she soon spun a web , making for a field where she'd be safe from attack, while they couldn't get close…. or so she thought.

"You're not that bright are you?" Mars deadpanned. "Fire Soul!"

The web was soon on fire, and the Youma was soon flailing about as she tried to put it out, but soon got caught in the flames and fell to the ground in a bid to put out the fire. "Damn you!" she growled, firing more webs, but…

"SLASH!" The webs were promptly cut apart by Blade who'd already been ready. "All yours, Moon!"

"Right!" Moon nodded as she grabbed her tiara. "Moon Tiara Action!" she called out, throwing it, the Youma firing webbing, but it was for naught, as the tiara cut through the webbing and soon through her, destroying her quickly enough.

"I think we're getting too used to fighting these things…" Moon sighed as the tiara came back to her. They were really starting to fight like clockwork.


"I'm glad everything turned out okay," Rei said with a small smile as they watched Ms. Higure's wedding. Turns out even with the Youma and everything, she still won, so she and her fiance could have their big day for free.

"Yeah, hope they'll be happy together always," Usagi smiled as Ms. Higure threw the bouquet of flowers, several women fighting over it, before it was knocked away...and landed right in Kensuke's arms.

"...okay?" Kensuke blinked.

"Aww, I wanted to catch it." Usagi pouted, before grinning "I wonder who the lucky girl's gonna be though?"

"Give me a break." Kensuke sighed out.


And there you have it! Like I said, this one is short and sweet, and while you'd almost think it's filler at first, Chalice would say otherwise.

But yeah, we're progressing nicely through the first season, we already finished what would normally be Episode 16.

So, I hope you're looking forward to more!
